But, I had some strange things going on (files not finding the right applications on the first try, etc., you know that sort of event, I'm sure) so I decided to remove SpaceSaver to see if it was (partly) responsible. Well, it said I could remove it but than I'd be unable to use compressed files. So I looked in the manual, but couldn't find how to expand all files and remove Spacesaver before it compressed anything in the meantime. Anyone know how?
